Brief summary
Brief description of the study purpose This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and food effect of a new investigational medicine called SCB0020160 in healthy adult men. This is the first time SCB0020160 will be administered to humans. Who is it for? Healthy adult men aged 18 to 65 years who meet the study eligibility criteria. Study details Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either SCB0020160 or placebo. The study includes single-dose and multiple-dose treatment periods, as well as an assessment of the effect of food on the absorption of SCB0020160. Participants will undergo safety assessments including physical examinations, vital signs, ECGs, blood and urine tests, and monitoring of adverse events. The study will also assess how SCB0020160 is processed by the body. There is no direct health benefit expected from participation. The results may help determine safe dose levels and support future clinical development of SCB0020160.
Interventions
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of SCB0020160 or placebo after single and multiple oral administrations in healthy adult male subjects. Considering that the objectives of this study are exploratory in nature, it differs from studies for typical statistical hypothesis testing. It is desirable to proceed with the number of subjects required empirically within the limits of satisfying the study objectives, rather than based on a specific formula. Therefore, the total number of subjects in this study was set to 74 in total (target subjects: 8 subjects per dose group, substitute subjects: 10 subjects in total). Among them, 10 were substitute subjects, and when all 64 subjects (8 per dose group) complete the study, the study can be closed without recruiting/enrolling substitute subjects. Part A single-dose study (including food effect study): 40 subjects The study consists of five dose groups. In Dose Group 1: 8 subjects will receive either SCB0020160 delayed-release capsules at a dose of 50 mg (1 capsule; 6 subjects) or matching placebo (2 subjects). In Dose Group 2: 8 subjects will receive 100 mg of SCB0020160 (two 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). In Dose Group 3: 8 subjects will receive 200 mg of SCB0020160 (four 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). In Dose Group 4 (food-effect group): 8 subjects will receive 400 mg of SCB0020160 (eight 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects). In Dose Group 5: 8 subjects will receive 600 mg of SCB0020160 (twelve 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or placebo (2 subjects) Part B multiple-dose study: 24 subjects The study includes three dose groups. In Dose Group 1: a total of 8 subjects will receive either SCB0020160 delayed-release capsules at a dose of 200 mg (four 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or matching placebo (four 50 mg capsules; 2 subjects). In Dose Group 2: 8 subjects will receive 400 mg of SCB0020160 (eight 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or placebo (eight 50 mg capsules; 2 subjects). In Dose Group 3: 8 subjects will receive 600 mg of SCB0020160 (twelve 50 mg capsules; 6 subjects) or placebo (twelve 50 mg capsules; 2 subjects)." For Part A, initiation of each subsequent dose cohort will be dependent on review of available safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data from the preceding cohort and approval by the SRC. Subjects randomized to placebo in the food-effect cohort will receive matching placebo under the same fed conditions as active-treated subjects. Subjects in the food-effect cohort will receive study treatment following a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 800–1000 kcal, with approximately 50% of calories derived from fat). Subjects in all other cohorts will receive study treatment following an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. All dosing will be administered under direct supervision of study personnel during site confinement. Compliance will be assessed through direct observation and investigational product accountability records. For Part B, initiation will occur following review of available safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic data from Part A and approval by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). Subjects in Part B will receive study treatment under fasting conditions consistent with the non-food-effect cohorts in Part A. Subjects in Part B will receive once-daily dosing for 14 consecutive days. Compliance will be assessed through direct observation of dosing and investigational product accountability records.
